Second character, will be edited in over tonight/tomorrow.
Name: Tendo Subaru
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Grade: 11
Appearance: Subaru stands at 6'0, being of average height, with a matching average build. He likes to exercise, which gives him quite the toned figure, but he never overdoes it - besides, he eats too much to keep a very muscular figure! Despite being a young man, at sixteen years old, he has quite a mature face, and often passes for an older age. His eyes are deep brown, and his hair ebony black. It is usually fairly short in length, but he changes his haircut frequently. Due to his mixed heritage, he has features from both his English mother, and Japanese father, leaving him with a distinct facial structure. His Japanese features are quite obvious - his dark eyes and dark hair, mainly - but they are not as striking as they would be were he not half English. His mixed looks are not unbecoming - in fact, he is regarded as quite handsome.
The boy, despite residing on the small traditional island of Natsujima, likes to try to keep up with all the latest trends. In terms of clothing, he likes to wear smart, but casual attire - perhaps jeans, along with a graphic t-shirt, clean shoes, and a jacket of some description. He is pleased to have a black gakuran this year rather than a grey one, as he feels it looks much better.
Personality: Most people would describe Subaru as a real 'Mr-Nice-Guy'. A friend to most, enemy to few, the only people that do not like him are those irritated by his constantly upbeat, optimistic attitude. He rarely frowns, and can be relied upon in any situation to lighten the mood, or bring a group together. His ability to read the personalities of others, and judge their behaviour helps him to seek out the more retiring members of a group - before bringing them into the conversation, or spending time with them to make them feel more comfotrable. He was once quite a quiet individual, and knows how awful it feels in groups or conversation when one is shy.
However, his kindly, sociable nature unintentionally holds him back in terms of close individuals. His keenness to get on with everyone often prevents him becoming closer to those he feels most drawn to. He is trying to allow himself time to develop more personal relationships - particularly in regards to girls - but just cannot ignore his compassionate streak.
The boy loves nothing more than to laugh and have fun with other people. He is very loving, and is keen to find a nice girl to spend time with.
Bio: Subaru was born in Sapporo, to an English mother, and Japanese father. The pair had married only a year before their son was born, around two years after they had first met. Some often commented that the pair had married too soon. Keen to prove such words wrong, they quickly conceived a child in order to do so. Subaru spent his first seven years in Sapporo, with his parents before they moved to the smaller city, Asahikawa, in the centre of Hokkaido.
It seemed that the move was ill-fated. Arguments between Subaru's parents broke out daily, and it came as no surprise to friends and family when the pair announced they were to divorce. Most efforts were made to protect the boy, but most small children react badly to the seperation of their parents. He became quite withdrawn, and was quite happy to spend time by himself. His mother ended up leaving Japan entirely. These days, Subaru keeps in regular contact with her, and has since learned that she deeply regrets moving back to England without him. Subaru and his father ended up moving to the northern island of Natsujima at the age of nine, where his father met his new wife.
At first, the boy did not get on with her well. He would not behave around her - despite being a near-perfect child around his father - and refused to be alone with her. However, once he gained a few years, becoming more mature, he understood that she was not the huge threat he perceived her to be. He accepted that she would not take his mother's place, and that she kept his father happy. The two married when he was eleven, and ended up having more children; three girls, and a boy - Chiyo, Ame, Akira, and Susumu. The pair expected Subaru to become jealous, but he seemed to enjoy helping to raise his new half-siblings.
Subaru still lives in Kitamachi, and is a returning student at Aijo Kotogakko.
Likes: PEOPLE! A complete people person by nature, Subaru loves to spend time with others. He'll talk to anyone. Absolutely anyone he can find. He would rather strike up a conversation with a stranger than sit quietly alone. His other likes include sport, food, style, girls, and movies.
Dislikes: Subaru hates to see people left out. He is often found talking to quieter members of the group he is in, making sure that none of them feel underappreciated. The boy cannot rest if he knows someone is upset or unhappy. Awkward silence bores him, as does television.
Other: Subaru is violently allergic to shellfish. He does not usually suffer from anaphylaxis, however - rather, he finds himself vomiting for days at a time depending on how much of it he has consumed.
Theme Song: Shine - L'arc-en-ciel
